VIDEO: Overcrowding at Ogun NYSC camp sparks outrage

A video has surfaced showing overcrowding and poor living conditions at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Sagamu, Ogun State, commonly known as the 'Five Star camp'. The footage, shared by corps members, depicts graduates packed closely together on the floor in a multipurpose hall that has been converted into sleeping quarters due to the surge in the number of corps members.

The situation has sparked outrage on social media, with Nigerians expressing concern over the welfare of the corps members. The living conditions have been compared to those in displacement camps, with many calling for immediate intervention from relevant authorities, including the NYSC Director-General and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development.
